A life of success begins with being a landlord.

Women are probably all afraid of snakes. Last time, when I brought back a few small snakes, Sister Li was so scared that she fainted.

This time, Sister Ling was in an even worse situation; she didn't even have time to tidy her clothes before collapsing into my arms.

I wonder if she finished what she was doing.

"Don't be afraid, Sister Ling, I'm a snake treatment expert!"

I opened my arms to catch Sister Ling: "Were you bitten? Where were you bitten?"

"It seems... I was bitten, bitten in the back." Sister Ling nestled in my arms, trembling.

"Don't be afraid, I can treat snake venom."

I reassured Sister Ling, "But, I need to see the wound, is that alright?"

"What time is it? Why are you still worrying about whether it's convenient or not?" Sister Ling complained to me, turning around and bending over.

I thought for a moment, then took out my phone and used the screen light to check Sister Ling's injuries.

The snake fang print was very small, and it took me a long time to find it.

This position is awkward. I suspect it's a snake that has become a spirit, and not a pure one at that.

After looking at it repeatedly and pressing it, I breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "It's alright, Sister Ling, it's a non-venomous snake."

The fang marks of venomous and non-venomous snakes are easy to distinguish.

Generally, a venomous snake's fang marks are two deep holes, and the wound will swell rapidly.

The fang marks of non-venomous snakes are two rows of tiny holes arranged in a figure-eight shape.

"Are you sure? Look more closely..." Sister Ling bent over and turned her head, twisting her body into an S-shape, striking a very peculiar pose.

"Okay, I'll take another look."

To comfort Sister Ling, I had no choice but to pretend and look at it again, pressing the wound with my finger.

"It's confirmed to be a non-venomous snake, don't worry." I gently patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Sister Ling, if anything happens to you, I'll die with you."

"Nonsense."

Sister Ling turned around and glared at me with a strange expression: "Turn off your phone and turn around. I... I can't hold it in anymore."

It turns out that Sister Ling hadn't finished relieving herself yet.

I turned off my phone and turned around.

Sister Ling went around to the other side of the motorcycle and relieved herself there.

After it was all over, Sister Ling got up, straightened her clothes, and came over. She lightly tapped me and said, "Yaozu, you mustn't tell Chunyan about what happened just now. It's so embarrassing."

"Of course I won't tell."

I turned my head and looked around at the bushes: "Damn it, I'm going to go find that snake. It dared to bite my sister Ling, I'll tear it to pieces, damn it!"

Sister Ling chuckled and gave me a push: "Imitating my voice, is it fun?"

"No, I was imitating Chunyan's way of speaking, not yours."

I chuckled and said, "Hurry up and get in the car, there are still a lot of snakes here..."

"Ah, there's more?" Sister Ling jumped up and threw herself into my arms again.

Sigh, women are so timid, so afraid of snakes!

I had to comfort and coax her for a long time before I finally calmed her down.

At this moment, the gates of Sihai Printing Factory opened, and the workers finally went home.

I checked the time on my phone: "Before I knew it, an hour had passed."

I don't know what I was doing, but I did it for an hour.

I rode my bike with Sister Ling to the front of the door and ran into Chunyan.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. I'll treat you to a late-night snack when we get back." Chunyan apologized with a smile, then suddenly noticed the motorcycle under my legs, and exclaimed in surprise and delight, "Old Wang, where did this motorcycle come from?"

"Never mind that, get in the car, the experienced driver will take you for a good time!"

I was very pleased with myself and patted the front of the car.

Chunyan ducked and snuggled into my arms.

I shifted back a bit, feeling like I was bumping into Sister Ling, so I turned around and asked, "Is it crowded, Sister Ling?"

"What do you think? It's all packed like sardines. Let's go." Sister Ling smiled.

I started my motorcycle and wobbled onto the road.

There were groups of three or five male workers on the road, all from nearby factories, whistling at us with ill intent.

Without further ado, I turned on the flashing lights and the flute: "Chirp, chirp—drip drip drip!"

The male workers immediately became obedient, quickly moving to the side of the road and not daring to look me in the eye.

"Wow, Lao Wang, you're awesome!" Chunyan exclaimed excitedly. "Where did you get that motorcycle? Did you borrow it?"

"Ahem, I'm now the head of the Sanlichuan security team, responsible for the security of the entire Sanlichuan area. This motorcycle is assigned to me." I chuckled.

"Oh, you've become the head of the security team?" Sister Ling exclaimed excitedly, "Is there a salary? How much is it per month?"

I was taken aback.

Yeah, why didn't you ask about my salary? I can't just work for the security team for free, can I?

Back in Sanlichuan, Liu Haomei was waiting for us at the fried rice noodle shop downstairs, wanting to treat us to a late-night snack.

Sister Ling tugged at me and whispered, "Yaozu, come with me to room 508. I need to talk to you about something."

I nodded, locked the motorcycle, and followed Sister Ling, huffing and puffing as we climbed up to 508.

Sister Ling took off her work clothes, frowned, and gave an awkward smile:

"Why does my snake bite wound feel a bit painful? I'm worried it might be venomous. Perhaps you could take a closer look after I take a shower?"

"Sure, you can take a shower first." I nodded.

It seems Sister Ling is afraid of dying. I've confirmed it repeatedly, but she's still not at ease.

About ten minutes later, Sister Ling finished showering and washing her hair, and walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a large bath towel.

I drew the curtains, turned on the main light, and gave Sister Ling a thorough check-up.

The conclusion is the same: non-toxic.

If it were poisonous, Sister Ling wouldn't have survived this long; she would have shown symptoms by now.

Ugh, I have to look at it again. Why bother?

Sister Ling was relieved and nodded with a smile, "Let's go downstairs for a late-night snack, since Liu Haomei is treating."

Liu Haomei was in a good mood and bought some cooked and braised dishes to treat us.

I had a big dinner and didn't have much of an appetite, so I just slurped up a few snails and chatted with everyone.

As we chatted, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, sis, you said last time that someone in your family was sick?"

"It's my father." Liu Haomei's expression immediately darkened.

"What illness?"

"Kidney disease requires dialysis, which is very expensive..." Liu Haomei sighed.

"You haven't received your salary yet, have you?" I asked again.

"Of course I haven't been paid. I've only been working for half a month," Liu Haomei said with a wry smile.

I nodded, made an excuse to go upstairs to take a shower, and said goodbye first.

Back in 302, I quickly took a shower, put three thousand yuan in cash in my pocket, and headed to 508.

Liu Haomei has already had a late-night snack and returned to 508.

Chunyan and Sister Ling were not there.

"Hey, where did Chunyan and Sister Ling go?" I asked.

"They went back to 604. Chunyan said she'll come to 302 to find you later."

"oh oh."

I nodded and handed three thousand yuan to Liu Haomei: "Haomei, I have nothing else to give you. Please send this three thousand yuan home to treat your father's illness. It's just a small token of my appreciation."

"Three thousand?" Liu Haomei's tears streamed down her face.

"Good sister, why are you crying?" I raised my hand and wiped away Liu Haomei's tears.

But the more she wiped, the more tears flowed; Hao Mei's tears were like a trickle, impossible to stop.

My heart ached: "Good sister, what's wrong with you...?"

"Brother Zu, I'm not worth three thousand yuan."

Liu Haomei threw herself into my arms, sobbing uncontrollably: "Even if I'm Afang from the Bobo shop, even if I'm a clean virgin for the first time, I'm only worth a few hundred yuan, not three thousand..."
